Is it possible to change the names of the "face in the game" people?
I know we aren't supposed to touch these but i'm trying to see if those can be "recycled" for making some custom prisoners, including custom uniforms (they appear to have their own clothes)

depends on the branch. it used to be an editable text file, now it's encrypted.
editing it would still only work for your copy though.

Yeah that goes without saying, I've re-installed my GOG version because steam will not let me run the game with a modified data file for some reason, but it was still a bin even with the gog install.

I used a custom mod to replace one of the faces and then edited my save file to use "Fig179008" as the head.

However i had to remove the "♥♥♥" (name in the game) ID of that prisoner or it would reload the data from "name in the game" and overwrite everything it seem.

So bottom line, i managed to somewhat get it to work, but it would work a lot better if i could add my custom entries to that .bin file.

As for encrypted, i don't know, it is definitely some binary format but I'm not sure why they would encrypt something like that.

Allright, it looks like names_in_the_game.bin isn't encrypted but some binary blob instead, text wise it is well... plaintext.

But it does confirm to me that the feature is broken as the mugshots do not correspond to the loaded sprites.

It might be something related to sprite indexes, i'm not sure.

Sounds to me like you are trying to play another game, maybe that is your "problem".

Please do continue.
